Estate Planning for Unmarried Couples: Securing Your Future Together

November 6, 2023Kari VoorheesEstate Planning

Hey there, lovely readers! We hope you’re having a fantastic day. At Voorhees Law Group PC, we understand that love knows no bounds, and it certainly doesn’t require a marriage certificate to flourish. In fact, more and more couples are choosing to live together without tying the knot. However, when it comes to estate planning, being unmarried can present unique challenges. But fret not, because we’ve got your back!

 

Meet Kari Voorhees, the friendly attorney at Voorhees Law Group PC, your go-to estate planning expert right here in sunny Chino, California. Kari is here to help unmarried couples like you and your partner secure your future together. Let’s dive right into this important topic and learn why estate planning is a must, no matter your marital status.

 

The Power of Estate Planning

 

Estate planning is all about ensuring that your assets and your loved ones are protected. For unmarried couples, this becomes particularly crucial, as the law doesn’t automatically grant the same rights to unmarried partners as it does to married ones. So, what should you consider?

 

Wills: Creating a will is a fantastic starting point. It allows you to specify how you want your assets distributed and who will care for any dependents. Without a will, your assets may be distributed according to state laws, which might not align with your wishes.

 

Power of Attorney: This document allows you to designate someone to make financial and healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. For unmarried couples, this ensures that your partner can step in when needed.

 

Healthcare Directives: Specify your medical wishes in advance, so your partner can make decisions that align with your beliefs and values.

 

Beneficiary Designations: Ensure that your partner is named as the beneficiary on important accounts, such as life insurance policies and retirement plans.

 

The “What-Ifs” of Life

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. What if you or your partner becomes seriously ill? What if you decide to part ways? Estate planning can help you navigate these “what-ifs” with confidence.

 

Kari Voorhees will guide you through these scenarios, helping you craft a plan that not only secures your future but also ensures your partner is taken care of in case of unforeseen events.
